    Ive already posted topic in Hueman’s theme part of forum but noone replied. Well, i think now that posting there was a mistake because i believe its not Huemans fault.

    Get to the core…
    From 3.9 add_image_size has an nice option to use arrays as last parameter instead of booleans TRUE/FALSE. This way its possible to decide which side of picture should be cropped. But when i tried to do it with code like this:
    `add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 160, 160, array( ‘center’, ‘bottom’ ) );
    add_image_size( ‘thumb-medium’, 520, 245, array( ‘center’, ‘bottom’ ) );
    add_image_size( ‘custom-size’, 720, 340, array( ‘center’, ‘bottom’ ) );`

    after refreshing with “Regenerate Thumbnails” it doesnt work. I mean it does, but as it was with TRUE parameter, which means hard cropping equally from top and bottom. I also tried with other positions (left, right, top ) but none worked for me.
    Just to be sure that function does work at all, i tried to leave this parameter empty and yes it behaves as it should, cropping images softly (they have all same width but heights are different).

    So is this function broken or i do something wrong? Im using 3.9.1 wordpress

    I just had this exact problem 🙂

    Here is what helped me:
    Change the actual image size:
    add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 160, 160, array( ‘center’, ‘bottom’ ) );
    to
    add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 161, 161, array( ‘center’, ‘bottom’ ) );

    or delete all images named IMAGENAME_thumb-160×160.png (I guess you already have those)

    my guess is that regenerate thumbnails checks whether there is an existing image and does not overwrite.
